Build a Java Web Application Using HttpUnit and the Test-driven Methodology, Part II

Part I of this article series demonstrated how to set up a test-driven environment and a phone list Web application. Part II completes the demonstration, showing you how to fill out the functionality of the application and perform tests for those new functions.

Part I concluded with a successful test of the application. To complete it, however, you still have to build the following functions: new contact, delete contacts, and edit contact. You also need to write the tests for those functions before implementing the application's full functionality. Part II completes the example, performing these tests and filling out the functionality of the phone list application.

Make sure you have started up Tomcat. If you are unsure how to do this, refer back to the end of Part I for step-by-step instructions. This article assumes you have Tomcat running on a local machine (localhost).
